Girl Love or Girl Lust.

The issue has recently come up again, as it has many times in the past. Alot of people here at GC have a great love for children and feel a sexual attraction toward them. Others here do not have any real feelings for lg's except a powerful sexual attraction/lust.

I can only speak for myself. I love and adore children...boys and girls. I've ALWAYS been great with kids, my whole life...and I did NOT even discover my sexual attraction to girls until I was in my mid 20's (I am "around" 30 now). I do feel a strong attraction to many lg's, but the other feelings of love and affection that I feel for them are even stronger.

I have a huge desire to make them happy, to make them laugh...to have fun with them and to play with them...just being around kids makes me feel so happy inside, it makes my heart BEAM.

Personally, I do not have a problem with men who only have a sexual attraction to kids. There are plenty of men who only have a sexual attraction to women, but HATE women with a passion....they just wanna have sex with them and nothing more. Are these men dangerous? I really cannot say, I cannot read minds and I will not question the possible actions of such men. I try my best not to judge others for their feelings (or lack of them).

*I* am a Girl Lover. I say that with pride...I do love girls, and NOT just ones that I find sexy and luscious. I have a great respect for kids, and what they're capable of...and want them to be able to have the rights to express their desires as nature intended.

The point of all this? It's easy for us to project what we as individuals feel unto others. I, like others here, have been guilty of projecting the love and caring I feel for lg's onto others...and those who only want to have sex with kids have been guilty of projecting THEIR desires and feelings onto others. There is no "right or wrong". Our feelings are our feelings. We cannot change that.

Are people who don't love and care for kids more of a danger to them? I really cannot say. Just because someone ONLY wants a lg for sex does not make them a molester waiting to happen. I'd suggest that not having any feelings of caring, empathy or love for kids might make someone more likely to hurt a girl...but that does not take into account that the person might be a really GOOD, honorable person who would NEVER hurt another human being, much less a lg.

*dons Mod Cape*: I think we ALL need to watch how we insult such people. It is not acceptable on this site to call others potential child molesters. "THEY" say the same things about ALL of us, regardless of how much we care about kids. I'd remind everyone that such comments are the worst kind of flames...and I DO understand how easy it can be in the heat of the moment to make such comments, but please try to refrain.

I personally just cannot see how ANY man can't love and adore lg's...but again, that is my own biased view based on MY feelings. It just seems impossible to me that anyone can NOT love kids.

Well, anyway...let's all remember to try to be tolerant of those who do not share our LOVE for lg's. I think it is a good idea for such people to avoid any real "activism". Lg's are not mere sex objects, and someone who does not respect and care for kids should just sit tight and let the rest of us do what we can to educate the masses and fight for the rights of kids.
